Democratic Party

With only a week left before the statewide Democratic primary, many Virginia voters are now taking a closer look at the candidates.

The two Democrats vying for Attorney General both want to make sure that the office is not politicized, protect reproductive rights, and help implement the federal Affordable Care Act in the Commonwealth.

The day of the statewide Democratic primary is quickly approaching, and the candidates are spending the final campaign week working to mobilize voters in the little-publicized election.

The two Democrats running for Lieutenant Governor want to expand Medicaid, curb gun violence through a ban on assault weapons, and promote economic development. Virginia Public Radio’s Anne Marie Morgan gives us a final look at both men who hope to preside over the state Senate: Ralph Northam and Aneesh Chopra.

On June 11th, ALL registered voters in the Commonwealth will be able to participate in a Democratic primary to choose the party’s candidates for Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General.
